This experiment (using this word loosely) and of course desire to write this post came to be because of a discussion we were all having on Facebook. The Facebook group that was the catalyst to this post is called  Sous-Vide, Meat Curing, Smoking and BBQ ......great group of people that love to discuss food and of course cook.

This is only limited to your imagination. Great for the whole family to participate in because everyone can make their own concoction of pizzas.   Although there is no picture the first thing I did was slice open the muffins  and place on rack. I sprayed with a little canola oil and place in oven to toast. After they were toasted I started the topping process. I used Jar sauce, my herb mixture and some meat.  Top with your favorite cheese and bake!!!! DONE!!!
